I echo the thanks for a great site, Mike. I'm an "immigrant" of sorts from another Z forum, and this is a good place to be.

Back when I owned a Volvo 940, I was on the Turbobricks forum. They finance the site by bundling additional forum perks (custom user title, pictures in sigs, etc) with a paid membership. Just an idea.
